Col. Joseph Ii. Thornton, of Cincin>
natti, O., an honored war veteran, was
for IS years victim of that old soldiers
complaint, chronic dierrhpa. Two dozen
bottles of Warmers safe cure restored his
liver to health and cured his aiiment. His
daughter was very i'll of an obstinate dis
order. which the best physicians failed to
relieve. She had also pslpitation of the
heart, intense pains in the head, nervous
dyspepsia, and all her vital organs were
involved. By three months faithful
home treatment with Warmers safe cure,
alone, she was fully restored to health.
That was two years ago. The cure was
permanent Col Thornton will tell you
it is true if you write him and enclose a
stamped envelope.

RULED BY PREJUDICE.

Few persons realize how thoroughly
they are controlled by prejudice even to
their own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica and headache has been by some
outward application, and, therefore, with
out stopping to think that the origin of
these troubles must, from necessity, be in
ternal, the weary sufferer continues to rub,
rub and find no relief. Athlophorosis taken
internally, and as proof that this is the
correct principle, it cures surely and quick
ly. The statement of those who hare been
cured ought to convince the incredulous.
Raleigh, Ill.
Ny wife had infammatory rheumatism in
its worst form, and after being treated by a
good physician and using several remedies
with no good effect we tried Athlophoros.
The first dose gave instant relief, and she
was entirely cured by the use of three bot
ties. | have recommended it to my friends
and it has given satisfaction in every case
II gives me pleasure to make this unso-
icited Testimonial. Use itas you see proper.

The Hennepin Canal Must be Con
structed, and ii Advocates Will See
The President not Opposed toit.

That it is ) ohm &. D0re Interviewed
The President not Opposed tOit.
The Chicago Tribune having recently
published an article raising objections to
the construction of tie Hennepin canal
at the present time, a Chicago journal re-
porter has interviewed John c. Dore on
the subject. Mr.. Dore says the article is
reproduced from the Chicago NenS, IN
which paper it appeared last spring, He
also says the article was written by a
man of ability, who was doubtless well
paid for it. Mr. Dore, continuing, says,
among other forcible things: The
writer admonishes the public that
the time has not come yet for the con
structi0n of said canal. 1t is to be re-
GREETED he did not say or so much as in,
dictate when the time for its construc-
ton would come. As before stated, the
commercial necessity of the canal years
ago became apparent to its projectors, to
enable our producers of wheat and corn
to retain the great foreign markets for
their surplus cereals, which it was clear
could not be done without the cheapest
transport possible to the seaboard. 1t
was really believed commercial neces-
sIty for the canal existed. There has
been quiet, Influential. scarcely seen
opposition, that said: No, the time has
not come yet What is the result?
The following will show: 10 the fiscal
year of 1880 the receipts for exports OF
wheat and wheat flour, corn and cOrnmeal
amounted to S2sS DOC, 900; in 1885 to
1854, 100000, and Che president of the
United States says in his last message) in
1886 the exports of our cereals amounted
to only 1925, 100000 This shows re.
duction in our cereal exports (S2SS, 900.
900 in 1SS0-$125. 100000 in 1880 OF
1888, 600 600 in six years. This is sug,
gestive; perhaps the writer of said article
would admit that the time for the con-
struction of the Hennepin canal will have
arrived when We shall have lost our en-
tire cereal export trade. This shows 6
loss of over SCI, 900, 600 per annum dur
ing the last six years of our cereal export;
